The Facilities for Distribution of the The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) THE service which, at all times, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is prepared to render its patrons, rests securely upon a solid foundation of complete distribution. To perfect a system which shall make every product manufactured by the Company instantly available to anyone, anywhere, any time, has been the goal toward which this Company has been working since the day of its organization. As yet this ideal has not been achieved; but the system as it stands is conceded to be the most perfect of Its kind in the world. The present equipment for distribution, including grounds, buildings, storage tanks, motor trucks, wagons, etc., represents an investment of more than $30,000,000. There are 27 main stations where complete stocks of all products are kept on hand. Supporting these are the bulk stations located at 2881 carefully selected points in 11 states. These stations are equipped with storage tanks having a combined capacity of 86,113,650 gallons of gasoline, 66,115.300 gallons of kerosene, and ♦,300,000 gallons of lubricating oils. It is necessary to carry this tremendous stock —total 156,528,950 gallons—at all times to insure quick, convenient service to the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana} wherever they may be. regardless of transportation difficulties or weather conditions. To enable the Company to fulfill its obligations to patrons, and deliver to them the products they require, it is necessary to maintain a fleet of 3700 motor trucks and a caravan of 3500 horse-drawn wagons, either active or in reserve. These tank wagons arc so organised th"' they, at regular intervals, can reach 75% of the homes in the territory at present served by this Company. Supplementing the wagons, an equipment of 530,000 iron barrels, representing an investment of more than $7,000,000, is kept in service to insure the safe delivery of oils and gasoline, even to those remote places where the dark-green tank wagon never has penetrated. For the convenience of the motoring public, a chain of 1300 service station* has been organised and many others are in the course of construction. These stations ‘ are prepared at all times to supply the motorist with his requirements of gasoline and lubricating oils in any quantity and at the lowest prices. This, in outline, is the distribution system upon which the service of the Standard Oil Company (Indians) rests. It is the hope of the Company that the time is not far distant when no person in the territory served will be more than five or six miles from a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station if he lives in the country, or more than one mile away if he lives in a town or city.

the heart of the business district of the Rose city. Mr. and Mrs. Hower came to this city from Decatur, where he had for fifteen and one-half years been engaged in the retail grocery business, and during their residence here have made many warm friends who will be sorry to see them leave our community. Mr. Hower, besides becoming a most valuable man to the Hood company, has always taken an active interest in all public work for the boosting of Portland. He Is a director of the Portland Commercial association, and an active lodge and church worker. Mrs. Hower is a member of the Coterie club and prominent socially. Mr. L. L. Gregory, the junior member of the firm, has been engaged in the manufacturing and wholesale tobacco business all of his life and for the past seven years has been with the Buffington Ixivell-Buffington Tobacco company of Covington, Ky, as expert buyer and head salesman. Both members are successful business men. Eastern Indiana and western Ohio is the territory which will be covered by the salesmen of the Newcastle Tobacco company. NOTICE!
